MA: R.A.B.

JKR: Ohhh, good.

[All laugh.]

JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?

MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?

[Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here]

JKR: Do you have a theory?

MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.

JKR: Have you now?

MA: Uh-oh.

[Laughter.]

JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.

MA: And perhaps, being Sirius's brother, he had another mirror
–

JKR: [drums fingers on soda can]

MA: Does he have the other mirror, or Sirius's mirror —

JKR: I have no comment at all on that mirror. That mirror is not on
the table. [Laughter from all; Jo's is maniacal.]

MA: Let the record note that she has drummed her fingers on her Coke
can in a very Mr. Burns-like way.

[Laughter.]

Kris.
